Abstract

We report on the pilot evaluation of an experimental query-based search functionality that enables phrase-level query rewriting in an unsupervised way. It is intended for supporting search in clinical text. Qualitative evaluation is done by three clinicans using a prototype search tool. They report that they find the tested search functionality to be beneficial for making query-based searching in clinical text more efficient.
